Document background
The Joint Venture Operating Agreement is a crucial document used when two or more parties wish to establish a collaborative business venture while maintaining their separate legal identities under Swiss law. This agreement is particularly relevant for companies looking to combine resources, expertise, or market access while operating within Switzerland's well-established legal framework. The document typically includes detailed provisions on governance structure, capital contributions, profit sharing, operational management, and exit mechanisms. It must comply with Swiss corporate law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and can be adapted for various industries and business purposes. The agreement serves as the primary operating document for the joint venture, establishing clear protocols for decision-making, dispute resolution, and risk allocation between the parties.
